Mock Tudor, Mock Tudor made from white pewter, slave-mined in Malaysia and shipped to Westralia. Mock Tudor, Mock Tudor, brown trim flown by Garuda from the forests of Sarawak, not by road like Jack Kerouac. Mock Tudor, Mock Tudor, measured up by computer and assembled by you in pristine Mullaloo. Mock Tudor, Mock Tudor at your beach house in Kuta - sympathetic, unique, sycophantic, yet chic. It's never unsightly - you've touched the earth lightly.

Tudor fat

This structure on Stirling Highway runs a close second to Western Australia's most famous Mock Tudor, London Court in Perth's CBD.

Officially dubbed the Renkema Buildings [sic] in 1937 (and isn't it indeed renk [sic]), the insides of this Faux-Elizabethan have the honour of hosting the original Bibik Chan's - a Malaysian restaurant and Perth institution, which now has half-a-dozen outlets across the metro area.
